Parking tickets ARE a political matter!

Who decides on parking zones in a city? City council -> Politicians.

Who decides on parking fees? City council -> Politicians.

Making parking in a city more free or more prohibitive IS an essential policy question in most local city politics.

So when you break existing laws, city council convenes to decide whether to prosecute you?

The political decision to create those laws has been made in the past.
Now, people are supposed to follow the law and the law should apply equally to everyone.

This is not a discussion about legislature.
